We have a huge amount of knowledge and experience

The N-O-S fleet is versatile

The fleet is divided into categories based on model and capacity.

We have designed, developed and specified most of the vessels in our fleet ourselves. We have a huge amount of knowledge and experience within the company when it comes to vessel construction and reconstruction. We know what it takes to run a vessel in the best, most efficient way possible when it comes to environmental adaptation, performance and comfort. Many of our sailors have spent a large portion of their lives at sea and have significant experience of operating a vessel and of what can happen at sea. Continually developing our vessel types and meeting the industry’s needs is a matter of course for us. We are constantly striving to find optimum vessel solutions that benefit our personnel, our customers and the environment.

The N-O-S fleet is versatile, and its vessels are of a high standard and developed with flexibility in mind. The fleet is divided into categories based on model and capacity. The aim is to offer the customer as much choice and diversity as possible when it comes to vessel types. We always make every effort to tailor solutions to our customer’s needs in order to ensure that the work is as efficient as possible.
The fact that we are able to combine vessel categories that complement each other means that we can find the right solution in every circumstance. We are also able to quickly transition from one project to another, as the vessels are fully utilized.
